Ths shifter is longer below the pivot point on the shifter. With out the plate the shifter would hit the floor of the car. So with the plate you get enough room to install the shifter.

The type of plate you get depends on which style you have. And just because you have a 2000, DO NOT ASSUME you have the newer style shift tower! Some 2000's (including mine) were built with the older style shift tower, so you should check to see which you actually have. To help you out, here are some pictures I found from the last group buy thread.
The 98-99 style is two pieces. There is a silver part that bolts on to the top. With this plate, you will get longer bolts and actually put the plate in between the two pieces of the shift tower.
Here is an example of the 2000 style. Notice it is all one piece, so the other plate will not work. For more of Scott's pictures, look
here.

Ok, thanks for the info...So that means everyone needs a plate, right? Meaning if correct installation is desired, to plate or not to plate isn't an option, correct? How difficult is installation... I'm in pending the install is simple. Sorry I'm being so difficult...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why hasn't anyone posted install instructions in the "How to" section?
I would feel better about the gb, and installation, if I had some instructions from someone that has already busted their knuckles and made the mistakes, so that I don't have to.

Here you go. Instructions from first group buy.
I think that they may be on like page 20 or so, but they are there.
